The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 177

On December 12, the Suns opener.

The home game is against the Hornets who are hard-pressed, abandoned by the league, and lost Paul.

The Hornets' starting lineup is:

Round-faced Gordon, Belinelli, Ariza, Landry, Okafor
As soon as Paul left, Monty Williams didn't even have a qualified starting point guard, so he could only send a double point guard.

Comparing the two, Belinelli is slightly better off the ball, while the round-faced Gordon has to be both a father and a mother. He is clearly a shooting guard, but he also needs to control the field...

Now this is a team that lacks talent and is mediocre to the horizon.

Their greatest hope is to show off——

Next year, borrow a pair of smart eyes and choose a handsome boy!

The Suns' starting lineup is:

Point Guard: Steve Nash
Shooting Guard: Andre Iguodala
Small Forward: Sean Battier

Power Forward: Tu Brutal
Center: Yao Ming

The season started too hastily.

Especially for a team like the Suns that is going to be completely reborn, the coaching staff has not yet reached a mature conclusion on the lineup and tactics. Everything is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Therefore, Gentry did not talk about tactics before the game.

With the baton in Nash's hands, this is free play.

On the opposite side is a fish belly, which is flattened and rounded, how to beat it?
The offensive tactics need to be reinvented, and to divide the home and away games, there must be at least three to four sets of fixed tactics. This is a challenge for Gentry.

Gentry's resume is quite extensive, but he is a scumbag.

He played for Appalachian State University in college, and became a postgraduate teaching assistant after graduation, and then followed Larry Brown to help the University of Kansas win the 1988 NCAA championship.

When Larry Brown went to the Spurs, he took him.

Gregg Popovich, who was also an assistant coach at the time, was already a generation of famous coaches, and he continued to run around without achieving anything.

The attributes of the scumbag are unobstructed.

After leaving the Spurs, he went to the Clippers, Heat, Pistons, and didn't settle down until the Suns. He worked as an assistant coach with D'Antoni for six full years.

It stands to reason that the coaches who have worked with Larry Brown will all be branded with deep academicism, strict discipline, and defense first, but Gentry does not.

He may not agree with that bad old man in his bones. After more than ten years of wasting, he inherited D'Antoni's mantle in the Suns.

Therefore, when Terry Porter couldn't play the Suns, he, as the firefighter, could seamlessly connect and adjust quickly to bring the Suns back to running and bombing.

Giving point guards great freedom, emphasizing offensive and defensive transitions, speeding up the tempo, and encouraging outside shots, these are what Gentry is good at, but with the arrival of Yao Ming, Battier, and Iguodala, the past set, Obviously it's not going to work!
Yao Ming must go down to the low position, and must play positional warfare in order to give full play to the lethality of a powerful center forward, and his speed must be slowed down.

Both Iguodala and Battier are selfless examples of defense first and team first. They rarely end the ball. After receiving the ball, the first reaction is always to look for teammates, unless time does not allow!

What makes Gentry even more sad is that Tuman is not the same as last season. There are no hooks and free throws. If he is the core of the offense, he may be hacked to death by his opponent!
In the end, who is the core of the attack?
Gentry was pulling his hair out, and new defensive coach Jeff Bzdelik couldn't do anything about it.

He has been out of the NBA for seven years!
I still have some memories of Nash, Yao Ming and Battier, but Iguodala is very strange. After all, when he left, the first brother was still working under Iverson.

Tu Man is even blank. Bzdelik only knows that Tu Man has good physical fitness, and he has a lot of honors in his rookie season. He is known as Chamberlain's second place, but how about it?
Let's see and talk...

The game started quickly, and Tu Man grabbed the jump ball.

Glancing at Yao Ming, he managed to restrain his habitual fast play.

Dayao runs slowly, don't bully him!
After waiting in place for a while, after Nash started, he ran over and stopped near the free throw line. Shouldn't the [-]th position stand here?
Yao Ming is already sitting on Okafor and asking for the ball.

Seeing Okafor baring his teeth and claws, Tuman suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It seems that Benman is better at hand-to-hand combat!
During the period of retreat and practice, ALS strictly followed the rules of my aunt, and shifted its position to the abdomen, forcing Tuman to exchange the serratus anterior, cone muscles, rectus abdominis sheath, external oblique muscles, and internal abdominal muscles in sequence. Obliques, transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis.

A total of 14 muscle exchange permissions have been spent, and now there are only 4 idle permissions left.

Tu Man couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Ben Man really had no plans...

Now Wudong is light, it is a good time to shine your elbows!

Besides, Ben Man is the number one blue-collar worker in the world, shouldn't he shoulder the dirty and tiring work?
Winking and winking, he said to Yao Ming:
"Dayao, let's change?"

Yao Ming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Okay, you come!"

The two passed each other, and Tu Man said quickly:
"When you get to the free throw line, quickly turn around and go down. I'll squeeze Okafor out of the way for you. Don't worry about passing the ball. Old Na will definitely see it!"

Yao Ming shrugged his eyebrows, little brother, something is wrong!

Tu Man's voice is not low, but he speaks Mandarin. In this wild land, it is equivalent to an encrypted channel, and everyone in the Hornets is stunned.

As soon as Tu Man leaned over, Okafor couldn't bear it immediately. Last season, he also fought with Tu Man several times, but the cliff in front of him was different!
This baby eats pig feed and grows so fast?
The butt is bigger than Yao Ming, the shoulders are wider than Yao Ming, although the height is slightly shorter, but for Okafor who is 2 meters 08, it is still something to look up to...

Tu Man's arms were slightly outstretched, and his horse gaited steadily.

With just two pouts, Okafor staggered out of the paint.

At this moment, Yao Ming turned back from the free throw line, and when he looked back, Nash's pass was close at hand.

Grab the basketball.

With a slight jump, he dunks with both hands!

Yao Ming's huge body always gives people the illusion that he can stand on the dunk.

In fact, he can't. Although he is 2 meters tall, his wingspan is only 26 meters. Therefore, the standing height is similar to that of Tu Man, only 2 meters.

The height of the basket is 3 meters 05, and there is still a difference of 13 centimeters, so I have to jump.

One click, that's it!
Yao Ming felt very good, he hadn't dunked a dunk for a whole year, and he really wanted to shout:

"Pan Dun, I, Hu Hansan, are back!"

Out of character, he just shook his fist.

Tu Man greeted him with a smile, put his arms around his neck and said:
"Dayao, this is the first dunk in a year, you should shout to the sky!"

Yao Ming shook his head:
"I can't do it, I'm not a beast."

Tuman was aggrieved and defeated, Dayao, you are not kind, you have my heart...

Nash ran over with a smile, gave Yao Ming a five, and patted Tu Man's butt. He was really relieved that the two giant towers were so in harmony.

Think back to Shark and Stoudemire?
Not to mention!
